I don't know what makes me happy, I have no clue what to do with my life...I'm too afraid of screwing up...and my parents are not financial stable to help me out if I do...I don't know what to do...I don't think I'll ever find happiness...I feel lost and messed up...all I want is to be a housewife and that's it...I ahve no one to go to...I feel just completely messed up...I don't feel anyone was there to help me figure out what I want...I was jsut left behind...I don't feel outgoing. I was talking to my friend, and they were like...why don't you feel like doing anything...you should do something other than be a housewife...I've never had any opportunities...I've had no guidence...I've never known what I wanted...because I was always told what to do I just made everyone happy so i wasn't yelled at or kicked out of the house...I just want someone to care

Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith and assume you will not fail. And if the worse comes to the worse and you do fail so what ? Whats the worse that can happen ? You may have to try again and again but unless you do then you will never know if you would of made it on your own without your parents support.

are u still in school? if so i'd talk to a guidance counselor about the way you feel. they can often help you sift thru things and find a solution.
do you have a job? that could be a start in the right direction to help you have some independence. i know when i was younger i didnt know what i wanted to "be" so i just started out, got a job, and the rest sort of fell in place.
it doesn't matter if you know right now what to do. just do something that makes you feel worthwhile. jme, i found that i was the one that needed to create my own happiness. life's a journey of amazing discoveries! and of course we are here and do care.
